BISTRO MEZZALUNA – Italian
Dinner only, doors at four, in a low-lit room on Southeast 10th Avenue just off the Fort Lauderdale waterfront. Executive chef Jose Diaz runs an Italian kitchen that leans hard on prime steak and seasonal seafood: colossal stone crab claws, pan-roasted yellowtail snapper over creamy scallion mash with asparagus, wagyu finished with crab meat sauce, veal osso buco, filet mignon, shrimp fettuccine alfredo, pan-seared halibut, grilled salmon and house-made pastas. Burrata and beefsteak tomato salads open the meal; every dessert is made on the premises. Happy hour fills the bar early. The wine list is the room's other real draw.
